Can you buy child proof door locks for your front door?

My four-year-old loves trying to escape our house. I’m terrified if she’s with a babysitter or her older sister, she’ll get out the front door. Are there child proof door locks for your front door?

That sounds like a terrible scenario—I can understand why you’d like a fix! Thankfully, you can buy child proof door locks for your front door.
If you’re looking to child proof your front door, you have a few options. You can:
  • Install a deadbolt or door chain out of a child’s reach
  • Install a top door lock, which mounts to the top of your door’s frame
  • Install a security door lock, which stops those from coming in or out
Beyond door locks, child proof door knob covers exist as well. These prevent your child from getting a grip on the knob, turning it, or unlocking the door by encasing the knob.
You’ll want to consider your options and determine what’s best for you and your family. There are several brands to consider, but most baby stores and places like Amazon and Target have lots of options.
As a parent, it’s important to always be one step ahead. Another way to do this is by having the best
